SportsPics Now is a simple view first program that allows you to offer your customers a wide choice of images and products. This approach allows you to make the maximum profit quickly and easily.
How It Works
SportsPics Now works best when photographing a single team. As you take photos of a subject, the images appear on your tablet. You "tap their face" (touch their nose) on the tablet and then enter either a cell phone number and/or email address. Images upload while you are taking them and an text message and/or email is sent with a link to the subjects photo gallery within a couple of minutes. Orders can be placed right away from a wide variety of prints and products. Downloads ordered are received within a few minutes. There is zero data entry after the event. Most photographers can photograph and collect data of 30 subjects per hour. There is an assistant option that can speed that up.

SportsPics Now
Best for Single Teams or when you would have time to log into a new event between teams
SportPics Now offers 4 different workflows
- Scanner Identification
- Tap-a-Face
- Selfie Registration
- Roster & Face Import
Scanner Identification
This allows you to create a QR scan card that will be unique to each player. Parent or player can scan the QR to register. After registration, the photographer scans the card to identify the player to that code. After images are taken a link will be sent via email/sms text to the subjects personalized gallery.
Tap-a-Face
Subjects are photographed, then on the tablet they "tap their face" and enter a cell phone and/or email address on at least one photo taken of them during the event. All other photos taken will look for the face they tapped on to link those photos into a personalized gallery. A link will be sent via email/sms text to the subject to view their photos.
- Tablet required
- Cell phone numbers and/or email addresses can be collected after tapping a face
- Images are live uploaded during the event via tablet and added to a personal gallery that is texted to the guest
- Facial recognition means you only need to tap each guest’s face once at an event (even if they already tapped in info on another tablet at the event)
- Display modes for both solo photography and photography with an assistant
Selfie Registration
Subjects scan a QR code or go directly to a registration site where they provide their email and/or cell number and upload a selfie. All photos taken during the event will run through our face match system to match the subjects selfie to the event photos. A link will be sent via email/sms text to the subject to view all their photos in their personalized gallery.
- Tablet optional, but recommended
- A generic event QR code is generated during event creation when “enable selfie registration” is selected, right click it to save to device
- QR code can be scanned by subjects before, during, or after (within 80 hours) the event
- QR code directs to a Selfie Registration form where subjects input info & upload a selfie
- Facial recognition will match event images to each subject’s selfie, placing it in their gallery
- Images can be live uploaded during the event via tablet or manually uploaded after the event via nowcandid.com
- Collects name, cell, & email for the subject as well as their friends and family (if they choose to include them)
Roster & Face Import
This method allows you to utilize photos and contact information you may already have of the subjects. Example: If you are photographing a prom and you had previously photographed those students for the yearbook, you can import your roster with contact and image data along with a reference image to be used by face match to link images taken at the prom to the students. A link with be sent via email/sms text to the subjects to view their photos in their personalized gallery.
- Tablet optional, but recommended
- The photographer can import a roster & faces to be used as facial recognition profiles for Now Candid events
- The photographer can also export info & faces from one Now Candid event to be imported into other Now Candid events
- The facial recognition profiles can be edited and updated by the photographer to keep them current over time
- Overall, this has similar functionality to our other workflows, but it does not require data collection from the subjects for the event
